• 23 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has concentrated a lot on the question of security and he was given the names of the people who were injured. They are: Fardesa Hussein, Osman Maalim, Abdulahi Hassan, Furha Abdi and Gandhale Abdi Yusuf. Could he undertake specifically, first of all, to meet all the medical expenses of those who are in the private hospitals? There is a class seven pupil and a gentleman at Dadajabula Dispensary. Could the Assistant Minister take responsibility for this and those who have been taken to Kenyatta National Hospital because it was the lapse of ... view
• 23 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, could the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance confirm or deny that in fact, the Ministry paid Kshs25 million to PricewaterhouseCoopers to produce this forensic report on behalf of the public, and in view of the fact that public money was utilised, explain why he finds it difficult to table that report for consumption by Parliament? view
• 23 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Both of them, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 23 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 23 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, just to be kind to my colleague, I want to ask a policy question. Whenever we have training of medical personnel, the problem that follows is that the distribution of the personnel, particularly to Tana Delta and other districts, is not fair. There has been no clear policy from the Ministry, so that we can expect reasonably that--- view
• 23 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, could the Assistant Minister undertake to give a proper direction, so that we can reasonably expect to have some of these technicians trained in our regions? We want to get that assurance from the Ministry. view
• 23 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. First, I want to appreciate the preparedness of the Minister. We appreciate that as a House. But still on the same Standing Order 80(5), it says: “Notwithstanding this Standing Order, the Speaker may allow reference to any matter before the House or a Committee.” The point of order I am drawing here is that there are thousands of teachers who were affected by this. In a way, the Government can make pronunciations in terms of policy not necessarily delving into the matters that are pending before the court. We want to know ... view
• 23 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am very disappointed by the Assistant Minister on this one, although he is my friend. Looking at this Question, really, reminds me of the fact that the Government has a fully established ICT Department, which we pay for. We vote for this Department every year in this House. This Question asks him to indicate per-school and per-division teacher vacancies. It is just a matter of pressing some buttons on a computer keyboard, and the answer will appear on the screen. He can then address the issues that Parliament wants him to address. view
• 23 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: While we understand that he probably does not have the answer here, he can have it in the afternoon. We cannot accept this kind of behaviour from the Front Bench. It is not acceptable. view
• 23 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, there is a clarification I would like to get from the Minister. The scheme that was introduced in 2008 was supposed to benefit the consumers who are the common wananchi at home. The Government was supposed to deal with the rising prices of maize at that time. This is how the Strategic Grain Reserve (SGR) stocks were involved in a process through the NCPB to try and stabilize the prices for common wananchi. Instead of that policy achieving that purpose, what happened is what the Minister for Finance told us. There was a loss of Kshs17.6 billion ... view
